Scottish television series 'Taggart' is the world's longest-running police drama on TV. First aired in 1983 and now exported to over 80 countries, the popular show revolves around a group of detectives in Glasgow's Maryhill area.

One of Scotland's all-time favourite films, Whisky Galore is based upon a true story: the unauthorised salvage of over 20,000 cases of whisky from a wrecked ship and the failed attempts by the authorities to recover the missing cargo.
